Publication of electoral components’ extract

(amended by Law No. 74/2012; amended by Law No. 118/2020)

1. The General Directorate of Civil Status, no later than 5 days from the election date decree, shall order the civil status offices to start compiling the extract of electoral components in compliance with this Code. No later than 15 days from the date of the decree, the civil status office shall electronically issue the extract of electoral components of all citizens eligible to vote as of the election date, with the exception of those citizens who have reached 100 years of age as of this date.

2. In the event the extract of a polling unit has less than 300 voters, the NCSR shall not allow the compilation of the extract for the respective polling unit. In this case, the civil status office shall notify the mayor of the local government unit and the General Directorate of Civil Status no later than 48 hours from the moment this fact is identified. The mayor of the local government unit shall fulfil the obligations stemming from points 6 and 7 of Article 62 of this Code. The computer system shall allow for changes to the voting centre and the respective extract after the merge, in accordance with this point.

3. In the event the number of voters in a polling unit exceeds 1,000, the extract of voters shall be split equally according to the number of the voting centres established for that polling unit, in compliance with Article 62. The split lists shall be assigned to the voting centres in compliance with the ordinal number of voters, where the first part pertains to the voting centre with the basic number. In this case, the NCSR computer programme shall automatically split the list based on the number of the voting centre assigned to each voter. Voters with the same surname may not be assigned to different lists.

4. No later than 30 days from the decree of the election date, upon approval by the mayor of the local government unit, the civil status offices shall print and publish the extract of electoral components for all citizens domiciling in the polling units under the jurisdiction of every office. The publication shall be conducted in the premises of the civil status offices or in premises in their vicinity which provide free-access to the public.

5. No later than 30 days from the decree of the election date, the ministry responsible for the civil status service and the CEC shall publish the extract of voters at a national level on their respective official websites.

6. Citizens’ data, in accordance with points 3, 4, and 5 of this Article, shall be published in groups by polling units and shall be sorted alphabetically by surname. When they are published in accordance with point 5 of this Article, the relevant websites must provide a search function for citizens’ electoral components.

7. The publication in accordance with point 4 of this Article shall be performed periodically, every 30 days, until the announcement of the voter list. Every publication must reflect any changes made to electoral components in the NCSR from the preceding publication to the new publication.
